Rihanna pressured Donald Trump to help Puerto Rico on Twitter and it was brilliant

Nothing but rihspect for the queen!

To use one of President Donald Trump's favorite words, it is "SAD" that a week after Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, his administration's response to help the over 3 million people living there has been incredibly underwhelming.

San Juan mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz broke down in tears on TV because the help they have received so far isn't enough.

FEMA has been on the ground providing aid but according to Cruz, it doesn't have enough resources. When you add in that Congress isn't expecting to discuss an aid package for the island until mid-October (at least, at the time of the interview), the lack of humanity is almost too much to bear.

And that's not all. The Department of Homeland Security also denied a request to lift the Jones Act on Tuesday, which imposes shipping restrictions that prevented Puerto Rico from getting help as quickly as possible. Please note that Trump had no problem doing this for Texas post-Hurricane Harvey, and Florida post-Hurricane Irma.

Celebrities have been trying to get Trump's attention on Twitter, where he's been distracted with a bizarre NFL beef that should be the least of his concerns at a time like this. They want to get him to act with more urgency.

Shortly after her second damning message was sent on Thursday, it was announced that the White House had come to its senses and waived the Jones Act.

We're not saying that she had anything to do with the lift — it was supposedly done at the request of Puerto Rico's governor Ricardo Rosselló. But we're willing to bet that the sudden change in tune is because collective pressure from not just celebrities, but the world at large, made the government do what was right. We'll take that as evidence to never stop speaking out.
